24/04/2012  GOODBYE TO PAPER LICENCES

The Counterpart driving licence is set to be axed.  The Department for Transport (DfT) has revealed that the document, issued with the photcard style driving licence, will be scrapped in 2014.  The old style paper licences will be abolished shortly afterwards.

As part of an efficiency programme at the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency, (DVLA) driver records will be stored on an online database within three years.  This will enable police to quickly check whether a motorist has any points on their licence via the internet. without needing to see the counterpart document.  Organisations such as employers and insurers will be able to check an individuals endorsements too, although only with the consent  of the driver.

The DfT has also said that it intends to recall paper driving licences shortly after the new system is introduced, calling it a 'logical follow up to abolishing the counterpart'.  According to the DVLA, there are still around 12 million paper licences in circulation - so more than a quarter of all motorists have yet to switch to a photocard.
